Hi Noel,
I know next to nothing about fortran application, so can you
tell me more?

Is it just necessary to use a different linker? Then you can
define new
'fortran-exe' target and define generator for that type so
that it invokes
any linker you like. If this is too little information, just
ask.

No. (b)jam has insufficient support for FORTRAN, 
at least last time I looked. It needs to be able
to calculate build dependencies by processing
include stmts, similar to what it does for #include
with C and C++ source. And of course, as in C/C++,
a FORTRAN header may include one or more other FORTRAN
headers.
